CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND 

COMMUNITY SERVICE 

Proposed Information Collection; 

Comment Request 

AGENCY: Corporation for National and 

Community Service. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Corporation for National 

and Community Service (CNCS), as part 

of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

conducts a pre-clearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed 

and/or continuing collections of 

information in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This 

program helps to ensure that requested 

data can be provided in the desired 

format, reporting burden (time and 

financial resources) is minimized, 

collection instruments are clearly 

understood, and the impact of the 

collection requirement on respondents 

can be properly assessed. 

Currently, CNCS is soliciting 

comments concerning the proposed 

renewal of its Project Progress Report 

(OMB Control Number 3045–0038) 

which will expire on September 30, 

2015. 

This revision reflects CNCS’s intent to 

modify the application for inclusion of 

a new section to capture the new 

performance measures as approved by 

OMB which will capture appropriate 

data for CNCS’s required performance 

measurement reporting. 

Copies of the information collection 

request can be obtained by contacting 

the office listed in the Addresses section 

of this Notice.

submitted to the individual and office

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CNCS is 

particularly interested in comments

for the proper performance of the 

functions of CNCS, including whether 

the information will have practical 

utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• Enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and, 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

respond, including through the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology (e.g., permitting 

electronic submissions of responses).
